Fed Up

Fed Up is a 2014 American documentary film directed, written and produced by Stephanie Soechtig that focuses on the causes of obesity in the US. The film reveals evidence showing large quantities of sugar in processed foods are an overlooked root of the problem, and points to the monied lobbying power of "Big Sugar" in blocking attempts to enact policies to address the issue. Through interviews with experts like Kelly Brownell, Bill Clinton, Michael Pollan, Tom Vilsack, and Katie Couric (narrator), the film examines how sugar consumption has increased, obesity has skyrocketed, and generations of children have grown up far fatter than their parents.
